the women police covers the
entire city.

The national appointments of women have attracted the attention not
only of this but of other countries. They began in 1912 with the
selection of Miss Julia C. Lathrop of Hull House, Chicago, by
President Taft as Chief of the newly created Federal Children's
Bureau, which position she still holds (1920). President Wilson
appointed Mrs. Frances C. Axtell in 1916 a member of the Federal
Employees' Compensation Commission; in 1920 Mrs. Helen H. Gardener a
member of the Civil Service Commission; Mrs. Annette A. Adams, U. S.
Attorney in San Francisco, Assistant Attorney General; Miss Mary
Anderson, chief of the Women's Division of the Department of Labor.
